Why Do Some Whites Have Negative Social Traits?

[Zona]

why do some whites fail while others do not? why are there white drug users, white criminals, white unwed mothers, whites who don't graduate, whites who can't hold down a job, etc, etc?

The amount of success of any individual in any race is inversely proportional to either the distance between the wasteband of their boxers and the wasteband of their pants

or the length of their mullet.

Wow. Just wow.

That dude's actually in pretty good shape. If he lost the mullet and the chops he wouldn't look too bad.

Because they were born with an extra "Stupidity" gene.

Some whites have these problems for the same reason all other races have these same problems. The answer is called LIFE. Yes, it's a bitch. By the way, what a stupid ass fucking topic. Do you have no other way of saying your racist without coming up with this stupid fucking topic. Jesus. What a fucking degenerate!

exactly my point. people with negative social traits tend to have one thing in common, lower intelligence, especially in the individual but also in the formative background.

what are the reasons? is it class background, SES, bad parenting, bad luck, environment, genetics, intelligence, lack of opportunity, peer pressure, impulsiveness, ADHD, ADD, etc, etc? is it a combination of one, some or all of those things, depending on the individual?

class background? definitely driven by intelligence, the smart individuals go or stay up in class, the dull go down or stay down in class. on average of course. there are always exceptions to every trend.

SES is a more definible way of saying class, and is even more correlated to intelligence.

bad parenting? we are all a product of our own upbringing but more intelligent people recognize the mistakes that were made in their childhood and make a conscious effort to ameliorate them in the next generation.

peer pressure is a huge influence on adolescents. smart parents tend to make sure their kids go to the right schools and join the right activities to be exposed to other children who hold the same values as their own.

impulsiveness, unless caused by neurological problems, is definitely caused by intelligence and short time horizons. some individuals just don't understand that decisions made today affect the future.

opportunity and luck. kinda go together. if you are surrounded by smart people your opportunities are often good one, and the opposite also holds true. luck, besides the lottery, is often not as random as people think. smart people are often 'lucky'. smart people even live longer.

most of us live in the middle, the average. the same forces are in effect but they aren't quite as noticable. but the slightly smarter tend to go up, the slightly duller go down. some of you will complain that I am not taking concientsousness, dilligence, or other behavior traits into account. obviously they are important, but are hard to measure. they are probably also correlated to intelligence.

Ravi? Is that you?

how many of you think that a supportive and capable home environment will produce equal outcomes for the children that grow up in it?

Imagine several hundred families which face few of the usual problems that plague modern society. Unemployment is zero. Illegitimacy is zero. Divorce is rare and occurs only after the children's most formative years. Poverty is absent - indeed, none of the families is anywhere near the poverty level. Many are affluent and all have enough income to live in decent neighbourhoods with good schools and a low crime rate. If you have the good fortune to come from such a background, you will expect a bright future for your children. You will certainly have provided them with all the advantages society has to offer. But suppose we follow the children of these families into adulthood. How will they actually fare?

the link makes a pretty strong case for the value of intelligence, and its influence for individuals.

It's a shame you didn't get any intelligence, Ian.

God works in mysterious ways.

are all of those factors equally important, or are some more common to most problems, in most of the individuals? how would you find out? perhaps you could study groups of people who all had the same problem and find out if they had any common general characteristics. and of course you would have to study a group of people without that problem to compare with. repeat the whole scenario with different problems. compare one type of problem to another, etc, etc.

of course this has all been done. many times over many years.

can anybody guess what factor shows a statistically significant correlation in almost every study?

A tiny penis?

now, more than ever before, it is better to be born poor and smart rather than rich and stupid.

But best is rich and smart. Republicans, hmmm, which two are they?

 

[IanC]

But best is rich and smart.

due to the fact that rich people tend to be smart, and smart parents tend to have smart kids...life seems unfair.
